2) Max Payne. See above post regarding trippy LSD missions.
3) Amercian McGee's Alice. Holy crap.

forgot about Half-life. Specifically that time you're on that rock ledge and somewhere along there one of those little alien things jump out at you. That was the first time I threw my mouse across my desk and literally jumped off my chair.

The first headcrab shriek got me. I had the speakers cranked. And then later on in Xen when the giant Mother Headcrab comes stomping out ... it wasn't as much fright as "Oh sweet unholy crap. That thing's going to FU(K me up." I play all my games on the most difficult setting - so yes, it did royally ream me several times.

HOLY S@$()% THAT SOUNDS CREEPY :Q:Q

Pssh. Exaggeration. The Demons looked more like shaved dog/minotaur crossbreeds. /me heads off to find pics

System Shock 2
Aliens Vs Predator
Descent 2 (a claw mech comes flying out of the sahdows, screeching and rams into your shop in one level.. nearly gave me a heart attack)

Yeah, that one never got me with the scare factor. Just the creep-out factor. The Mad Hatter's level and the creations therein really did it. Poor mouse.

System Shock 2 also.

Growing up, the 2 games that scared the crap out of me were both computer games. Colonel's Bequest just because I got addicted to the game, and would freak out everytime id just flat out die... and the other is Phantasmagoria because it was the first game i played where murder victims looked like REAL murder victims.

Yeah. Those skeletons were pretty freaky, especially the ones with shields.

The "They Hunger" mod for half life scared the bejezzus out of me on several occasions. Never could play that one with the lights off.

Yeah, I had a few "jump moments" playing halflife late at night... awesome game

 

[MainFramed]

Slient Hill, when i was like 11 and got they game i was so fvcking scared. i couldnt even play with the lights on.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Pac Man

 

[Yossarian]

Thief, the cathedral level. It freaked me out man!! Especially when you thought you were nice and hidden, and all of a sudden one of the undead knights would come right at you!!!

 

[Cycad]

House of the Dead

 

[UNCjigga]

Alone in the Dark (the first two games)

 

[pray4mojo]

Those headcrabs in half-life always got to me...

 

[everman]

System Shock 2 was very good, it always had you wondering if there was something sneeking up behind you, voices everywhere...
ya, it was good

Half-Life had some moments, and they hunger (mod).

 

[Dacalo]

resident evil 2 with all lights off and speakers turned up

not to mention half a case of mountin dew :frown:

 

[vi edit]

not to mention half a case of mountin dew

LOL! After half a case of mt dew you could fart and scare yourself.

 

[Leetman]

Resident Evil

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Those little headcrabs in hl always gave me a shiver too. The only other game that's ever gave me goosebumps or anything is morrowind. Never when anything is happening even. Just at random times. Don't ask, I'm as confused as you are

 

[dighn]

RTCW, catacombs before you get the flame thrower, and X-Labs... oh man..

awesome atmosphere that game had

Pac Man
Those ghosts were scary :Q:Q:Q


Honestly though, Silent Hill 2. That is the only game I've ever refused to play at night with the lights out (perfect gaming enviornment)

Also, the infamous bathtub scene in Eternal Darkness gave me quite a good scare.
